Crucial RAM Question

[mattyt69]

This is from Crucials site: 512MB $94.99 (USD) CT6464Z40B DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 5ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64
512MB $115.99 (USD) CT6472Z40B DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • ECC • 5ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 72

Two options for PC3200, beside price what is the difference? One is Non-parity and one ECC what are those features?

i know for a fact ECC is for servers because ECC is like Error Correction or something, and you dont want that because its really slow. so dont get the ecc one get the 94.99 one, im actually purchasing the 94.99 soon

You wont need the more expensive ECC stuff unless, as already mentioned, your runnign a server or similar.
